TENSIONS rose between Holly Willoughby and Boris Johnson on This Morning today when the Brexit campaigner put the case forward for Britain to leave the EU.

Holly was quizzing the former Mayor of London alongside co-host Rylan Clark when she accused him of once using a newspaper column to claim the UK should Remain, before he ultimately came out as a supporter of Brexit in February.

He disagreed, but Holly came back to the point later, saying: “You did say that.”

“I’m going to respectfully disagree,” he insisted, saying the article she was referring to “ended with a resounding [out]”.

Things seemed to escalate minutes later, after the politician insisted he is “pro-immigration” but wants to alter the way the UK’s system works.
